Sometimes I go on Twitch and see that former MLB shortstop Adeiny HechavarrΓ­a is streaming Warzone (with a facecam!) to 1 person.

That's doing it for the love of the game, right there

The Aaron tribute was a great idea and was otherwise nicely done, but hacking up Scully's call was an utter disgrace. Everyone involved in that decision, be they with Major League Baseball or the Fox network, should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

When you omit "A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol," you completely alter what Scully was describing as "marvelous." Scully was NOT just broadly marveling. He was marveling at a very specific, very important thing.

"A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. What a marvelous moment for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world.”

"A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. What a marvelous moment for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world.”

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.
